Rear Driver Side Click...
Weird Question. Recently had a RPM Diff installed. I've noticed this prior to the diff install as well, but I have a intermittent "CLICK" [just one click] from what sounds like the Rear Driver Side Wheel? It only happens during taking off/accelerating from a stop light [normal street not WOT] after the clutch engagement/suspension loading... anything I can check while I have it in the air during the 500 mile diff fluid change per RPM in a few weeks?

If it's the nut, when you lift off the throttle abruptly at medium/high RPM it should click again, once. Then get back on the gas and it should click one more time.

yes, I've noticed that as well. I also was able to replicate it with a slight jerk/lug from releasing the clutch too quickly [almost dump it] going into second at low speed [20-30 mph]

Or you can do what I did and apply high-moly grease to the splines and the flat at the base of the splines. That was nearly 15 years ago and they're still quiet.
